ORDERING CHART.

Application led February 23, 1928. Serial No. 256,365.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in charts wherebycommodities delivered at the door, especially Creamery products may beproperly ordered so that there will be no mistake on the part of thedeliverer in leaving the required item. Y

The chart is primarily adapted for use in ordering creamery productssuch as milk, cream, butter, eggsv or the like and aims to provide achart consisting of a plurality of pivotally interconnected cards havingvarious orders marked thereon, the cliart being of relatively narrowwidth so that the entire chart, with the exception of the particularorder card may be inserted within the neck of a bottle, the particularcard protruding therefrom so that the deliverer may ascertain the exactitem desired.

An important object of this invention is to provide a chart of thischaracter which is extremely simple of construction and inexpensive ofmanufacture sov as to permit t-lie Creamery companies to dispense thesame without charge to their customers.

In the drawing wherein like reference characters indicate corresponding`parts throughout the'several views:

' Figure 1 is an elevation of' my improved ordering chart, one of thedesignating parts being partially swung out of normal position.

Figure 2 is a detail longitudinal section through the chart, and

Figure 3 is an elevation of a milk bottle within which has been arrangedan ordering chart, one of the particular cards having been swung to aposition longitudinally of the chart so as to protrude from the bottleindicating to the deliverer the exact item required.

Now having particular reference to the drawing my novel chart consistsof a plurality of relatively narrow elongated cards 5 preferably ofdifferent colors and 'having marked thereon various items required asdisclosed in Figure 1. At one end of said chart said cards 5 are looselypivotally interconnected by a pivot pin 6, while extending from thispin'at the center of the chart is an eyelet'member 7 so that the chartmay be readily hung upon a nail or the like in the kitchen so that thechart will not become misplaced when not being used.

Arranged at the lower end of one of the outermost cards 5 is an inwardlyextending spring clip 8 for facilitating the attachment of creaiiierytickets, a note of instruction or the like to the chart.

t In actual practice the card bearing the particular item desired isswung directly rearwardly from its normal position with respect to thecomplete chart after which the chart is arranged within the milk bottleA, the particular card obviously projecting from the neck of the bottlefor providing a particular indicator to the deliverer that a certainitem is desired.

In view of the foregoing description when considered in conjunction withthe accompanying drawings it will be apparent that I have provided ahighly novel, simple and extremely useful ordering chart for creameryproducts and the like, even though I have herein shown and described theinvention as consisting of certain detail structural elements it isnevertheless to be understood that some changes may be made thereinwithout aifecting the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent is l. In an ordering chart of the characterdescribed, a plurality of similar elongated cards having particularitems marked thereon, said chart adapted to be extended into a bottle, aloose pivotal connection between certain ends of the card whereby anyone of the cards may be swung to a position longitudinally with respectto the chart for projecting beyond the neck of the bottle for indicatinga particular order.

2. In an ordering chart of the character described, a plurality ofsimilar elongated cards having particular items marked thereon, saidchart adapted to be extended into a bottle, a loose pivotal connectionbetween certain ends of the card whereby any one of the cards may beswung to a position longitudinally with respect to the chart forprojecting beyond the neck of the bottle for indicating a particularorder, and an eyelet member extending longitudinally from the pivotconnection whereby the chart may be suspended upon a hook.

3. In an ordering chart of the character described, a plurality ofsimilar elongated cards having particular items marked thereon, saidchart adapted to be extended into a bottle, a loose pivotal Connectionbetween certain ends ofthe card whereby/any one of the cards -may beswung to a position longitudinally With respect to the eharthforprojecting beyond the neokof the bottle for iny dioatng apartcular'order, and'a'sprng clip Y arranged upon one of the outermostcards and extending rearwardly Wtllrespeot thereto whereby Creamerytickets, notes or the lfkemay be'attaehedto Said Chart.
